The Ancestral Country
Anggarawati
**
Mpu Barada sits cross-legged in front of the pamujan studio in Dahanapura Palace.
A jug of drinking water from burnt clay appeared in front of him, on a large slap containing a complete offering.
The fragrance of shady and frankincense filled the entire room.
Flower berberberan flowers in several corners of the room pamujan sanggar further add to the sacred atmosphere.
After a long while, Mpu Barada opened his eyes. His face smiled with relief.
Today is the execution of a promise to divide the kingdom of Kahuripan.
Outside the pamujan hangar, the arrival of Mpu Barada was welcomed by Prabu Airlangga who had been waiting from earlier.
"Are you ready for Teacher Resi??", asked Sang Prabu Airlangga
"Have Nakmas Prabu, let's go", said Mpu Barada
The two men were silent, then in an instant disappeared from the sight of the human eye.
Indeed Maharesi Mpu Barada is very powerful mandraguna, as well as the Prabu Airlangga.
The man who is believed to be the incarnation of Batara Vishnu has the power of second to none.
They both appeared at the top of Mount Kelud.
"Nakmas Prabu Airlangga, today the delimitation of the division area. May peace always be established in the land of Java"
Mpu Barada then flew across the slopes of Mount Kelud towards the south while pouring water from a jug of land. It was the eastern border area of the Duchy of Seloageng.
Miracle occurs. The water that fell to the ground instantly became the source of the spring that flowed south towards the Brantas River. While Prabu Airlangga performs semedi at the top of Mount Kelud.
Suddenly a dark cloudy roll came and became heavy rain into the small river into a wide river, became the natural boundary of Panjalu and Jenggala in the south of Mount Kelud. It was called Kali Aksa.
Mpu Barada is already beside Sang Prabu Airlangga. Then fly to the North. Pouring water jugs that create a small river. Followed by heavy rains, it forms the Kanta river, the natural boundary of Panjalu and Jenggala north of Mount Kelud.
Then Mpu Barada flew back to the top of Mount Kelud.
Arriving there, Maharesi Mpu Barada sat cross-legged doing puja semedi with Sang Prabu Airlangga.
Towards noon, arrived Mpu Barada and Prabu Airlangga already in the pamujan studio Dahanapura Palace.
"Thank you for the help of Guru Resi, may Jagat Dewa Batara always love us all" said the Prabu Airlangga.
"The same with Nakmas Prabu,
because the task of this old man is full, please permit tomorrow morning back to the Nakmas Prabu Shelter" said Mpu Barada while saluting.
And so, finally the boundaries of Panjalu and Jenggala were set.

Meanwhile, the,
the Border of the Regency Bracelets.
Patugunung and Dewi Anggarawati pitched their horses. The weather arrived cloudy with rain made them immediately look for shelter.
They saw a log cabin on the edge of a small forest. Hunt them down to get there.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately jumped down from their horses, and ran small towards the hut for shelter.
It turns out they are not alone.
In another corner, there was a pair of men and women who took shelter there.
"Why does the rain come down hard huh Kakang?, said Anggarawati as she wagged her wet hair exposed to rain water without realizing two pairs of eyes that see.
"This has indeed started raining Dinda, it is natural that the rain falls" replied Watugunung while glancing at the couple.
A long-haired middle-aged man in a black suit with a large sword on his back, and a woman who was still beautiful despite her age.
"Sorry to disturb the two children, we ask permission to take shelter here" said Panji Watugunung to two people who were there
"It's okay young man, after all I'm not the owner of this place either", the middle-aged man replied calmly.
"Where are you guys going?"
"We want to go to the district of Gangkisanak Bracelets, looking for distant relatives who have not met for a long time" replied Watugunung.
"That means we are in the direction of young people, we also want to go to the city of Bracelets"
While waiting for the rain to subside, Panji Watugunung speaks to a middle-aged man named Mahesa Rangkah and his wife Parwati. It turns out that the purpose of Mahesa Rangkah is to find the whereabouts of her distant brother, Randupati who serves the Regent of Gunungsari Panji Bracelets.
"Then, we should go together with uncle, later when we arrive at the Bracelet District we separate to find their respective destinations. How?", asked Patugunung Panji.
Mahesa Rangkah turned to Parvati, and the woman nodded.
"Well young man, after the rain has subsided we leave. If it's not wrong in front is Pakuwon Ganter.we can buy food there"
After the rain had subsided, the four of them together continued on their way
Dewi Anggarawati can already be familiar with Parwati. Several times the two of them were seen laughing together, no matter what they were talking about.
By noon, the,
The little group entered a restaurant. The atmosphere was crowded, they chose to sit in a corner waiting for orders.
The atmosphere arrived rowdy as a girl in the drag entered. A man not too tall with a distended stomach, grabbed the hair of a bruised-faced girl from a punch.
The girl struggled but the man seemed to not care. The potbellied man then threw it in front of an old man in fine clothes.
"This is the man you're looking for" shouted the distended-bellied man
The old man looked hard at the girl.
Plakk
One hard slap landed on the girl's cheek.
"How dare you try to escape from me ha!
I'm selling your body to the entertainment house and it's not enough to pay off your father's debt".
The girl was crying.
Anggarawati stood up.
He had from earlier refrained from seeing the heartbreaking sight the girl was experiencing. His noble instincts were thrashing.
"Woy old grandpa!
The old man glared, looking for the source of the voice.
After finding the source of the voice, the old man smiled.
"Well, what do you want?
Nobody here dared me.
I'm Juragan Gandra, the richest man in Pakuwon Ganter hahahaha"
Phuihh
"Absolutely conceited you rotten grandfather,
Let go of the woman otherwise I guarantee you will regret it", cried Anggarawati furiously
The face of Gandra became violent
Then look to the left of the table.
Four spooky-looking men, including the distended stomach, rushed to the table of Watugunung's entourage.
Not yet had time to approach, Panji Watugunung throw a small glass of clay soaring hit the distended stomach right at his temple. The distended stomach immediately collapsed, his body fell on the table and the table was shattered.
Seeing the belly fall, the rest of Gandra's men pulled out the sword. Again 2 clay tablets struck, and 2 people were sprawled with a lump as big as a chicken egg on the temple and forehead.
The abused girl was stunned to see him in someone's defense.
The pale Gandra.
The remaining 1 of his men did not dare to go forward, seeing his friend collapse.
The goddess Anggarawati smiled cynically, approaching the frightened Juragan Gandra. Behind her Panji Watugunung and Mahesa Rangkah followed. Parvati sat at the table smiling.
"How is the rancid bellhop?
Still dare you be arrogant in front of me?".
"I'm a swordsman, I was wrong. I wrongly offended the swordsman", Juragan Gandra to bedwetting in his pants.
"Now I ask, how much does the father of the girl owe?", cried Anggarawati
The Watugunung banner only shook his head and smiled faintly looking at the behavior of the beautiful woman.
"Jawab!..", Anggarawati kicked the table.
"40 pieces of swordsman silver" replied the Gandra Warrior while he rested.
Phuihh
"New 40 pieces of silver have already dared to bully people"
Anggarawati stepped up to the table, took a bag of silver pieces and threw them in the face of Gandra's master.
"That's 50 pieces of silver, take it!
Once again I see you making a tantrum, own responsibility as a result.
Get out of here, now!!"
Juragan Gandra grabbed the bag of silver kepeng and immediately ran out of the restaurant in follow the roof tile.
Everyone in the restaurant clapped their hands to see Anggarawati.
They sat at the table waiting for orders. A few servants immediately cleaned the shattered table, and another delivered food to the table.
The girl who was helped immediately rushed to the Anggarawati table and entourage.
The girl knelt down, crying out.
"Thank you, baby, if you don't help me, don't know what my fate will be like"
"Get up, we're all the same here. Don't kneel to me" said the gentle Anggarawati.
"But Nisanak has spent a lot of money to help me, I will be the nisanak servant for the rest of my life" said the girl.
"Ehhh, I just meant to help. No other intention", Anggarawati's sergeant confused himself.
"I made a promise to myself that when someone helped me, I would serve him my whole life"
Anggarawati turned towards Panji Watugunung, as if asking for an opinion.
The Watugunung banner only smiled faintly.
Anggarawati then looked towards the girl.
"Yes fine, whatever you want"
"Thank you Princess Ndoro"
"What's your name?"
"Tantri Ndoro Putri", replied the girl
"Alright Tantri, take another seat there.
Waiter, add more food", shouted Anggarawati calling the waiter.
Then they eat well.
After paying for the meal and the cost of the destroyed table replacement, they continued on their way towards the capital of the Bracelets.
